About Me

I love everything about music, nature, and the Arts and culture in general. I wish the whole world felt like a giant cohesive community, and treated each other and the earth with love, compassion, and respect. I try to be the change. People are great, even when they are not. There is nothing like taking a deep breath in the middle of the woods or on top of a mountain. Waking up in a tent makes me happy. I relate to dogs, kids, and the ocean the most. Climbing things makes me feel alive. I love trees and keeping the peace. My brother inspires me. So does my incredible nucleus of family and friends. I love warm-hearted genuine people who are tuned into themselves and others. I get cranky when I am over tired, hungry, or thirsty. I love hearing others talk about the things they love. I am for the most part an open book, and I believe that life and experiences are meant to be shared and love is meant to be given freely :) On the rare occasion that my TV is on, it is only ever tuned to the Discovery channel, the History channel, or the Outdoor Network. I am not really sure if that is how you spell channel, lol. I facilitate group drumming for all ages and populations as a part-time job and as an addiction...I have learned that people really love to bang on things and make loud noises together (which makes sense to me!). Thanks for listening to my music :) Take care,~Ames__________________________________________________ _______________________________Get your Myspace Layouts at MyspaceLayoutsLab.com

Tree Fort Revolution!
